Voices and vision: leading change in social services

Save the date

For years, you’ve known our annual February gathering as the Social Policy Forum. Starting in 2026, it will have a new name: Voices and vision: leading change in social services.

Why the change? Because this event is about more than policy. It’s about honesty, collaboration and shared leadership in a time when the challenges are real and resources are tight. Voices reflect the diverse perspectives we need at the table, from front-line workers and leaders to researchers, advocates and people with lived experience. Vision reflects our shared goal: building stronger, more equitable systems that work for everyone.

Voices from the sector. Vision for the future.
